The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction

“Our fine arts were developed, their types and uses were established, in times very different from the present, by men whose power of action upon things was insignificant in comparison with ours. But the amazing growth of our techniques, the adaptability and precision they have attained, the ideas and habits they are creating, make it a certainty that profound changes are impending in the ancient craft of the Beautiful. In all the arts there is a physical component which can no longer be considered or treated as it used to be, which cannot remain unaffected by our modern knowledge and power. For the last twenty years neither matter nor space nor time has been what it was from time immemorial. We must expect great innovations to transform the entire technique of the arts, thereby affecting artistic invention itself and perhaps even bringing about an amazing change in our very notion of art.” Paul Valéry, Pièces sur L’Art, 1931 Le Conquete de l’u

Periscope Preservation

An ongoing document for (former) Periscope users detailing all available means of preserving/scraping data and media from psp.tv.

The official announcement of Periscope's demise was posted on their Medium blog on December 15th, 2020.

It states:

Broadcasts that were shared to Twitter will live on as replays, and all broadcasters will be able to download an archive of their Periscope broadcasts and data before the app is removed in March 2021.

Thanks to a brief series of Tweets from @TwitterSupport, we know the app is going to be removed from the app store on March 31st. (Which is in 8 days, atm.)

It's good to be here!

The Unlicense, Dave Edition

Considering my use of Git as a means to track revisions on my own writing, it's important to note that you should feel free to replace all instances of "software" in the statement below with "words," "writing," "expression," “editorial ideation,” etc.

While I appreciate tremendously the work and contribution of Arlo Bendiken in the form of The Unlicense, I would like to add that I see no need, personally, to make the refutation of Intellectual Property law regarding my own work into some profound ethical statement. As it stands, I have not to my knowledge been the victim of any sort of theft of any kind, and find the suggestion highly unlikely. If I am made aware of such a case, there is certainly a possibility that I may change my mind on this issue, so I suppose I should highlight that THESE TERMS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE, though I suspect I would be more flat

You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands.

Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access t
